Scott Bradlee Presents: Postmodern Jukebox – Magic & Moonlight Tour Even in our futuristic age of AI chatbots and virtual realities, there is still nothing in the world that compares with the thrill of hearing classic genres of music, performed live by a group of exceptional singers and musicians that have truly mastered the ability to move an audience. That’s the philosophy behind Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox, who returns to Bay View this summer after a sell-out last time. The revamped show will blend modern-day earworms and iconic pop hits with the original styles that put American popular music on the map: Ragtime, Swing, Big Band, Country / Western, Doo Wop and Soul. Equal parts time-traveling musical variety show and career-launching talent platform, Postmodern Jukebox (or “PMJ”) will feature a cast of performers from their wildly popular YouTube channel, to bring the musical universe to life.

Now Open at the Harbor Springs History Museum This groundbreaking traveling exhibition celebrates the rich artistic traditions of the Anishinaabe people through the intricate and powerful medium of porcupine quill art. It is the first major traveling exhibition dedicated to Anishinaabe porcupine quillwork and the first to be fully bilingual in Anishinaabemowin and English.  The exhibition features the work of contemporary Anishinaabe artists from Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Manitoulin Island, Canada, while honoring the generations of ancestors who preserved and passed down the skills required to master this distinctive art form. Visitors will encounter not only stunning works of art but also videos, images documenting the harvesting of materials, a recreation of an artist?s workstation, and a small area for children?s crafts related to the art form. The Harbor Springs History Museum is open Tuesday - Saturday from 10am to 4 pm. For more information, visit HarborSpringsHistory.org.
